During the Great Depression, James Fortinberry started kindergarten in Arizona. Soon after, his family moved to Arkansas to become tenant farmers. While working in the cotton fields, young James plowed behind a mule, picked cotton, sometimes attended school, and moved about every two years with his ten siblings and parents-eventually ending up in Mississippi. But it was not until he had his first encounter with God one night that James's path in life began to lead him to places even he did not expect. In an inspiring autobiography, James reveals how, while growing up in the Mississippi Delta, he dreamed of becoming a high school football coach without realizing God had different plans for him. As his journey led him from a desire to win football games to win souls for Jesus Christ, James discloses how he found a way to complete high school, attend college, graduate from seminary and serve God for decades as a Baptist pastor, association director, and state convention staff member. Throughout his story, James reminds others that it is never too late to build a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. From Working in the Cotton Fields to Working in His Kingdom is the true story of how a boy raised in the Mississippi Delta became a Southern Baptist minister for nearly seventy years.
